GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son attended Poe Magnet from 1st to 5th grade. We both loved all the electives he was able to choose from. His favorites were chess, robotics and art. My favorites were keyboarding, games from around the world and holidays from around the world. Because of the small size of the school, he was able to create strong relationships with most of the teachers and staff in the building. This was beneficial for both him and I especially when there were challenges.
